Jesse sat in the treehouse,the castle that him and Leslie made.The 11 year old boy sat,waiting for his friend,drawing.He was drawing a picture of PT and Leslie sitting up on the crow's nest in there tree. A blast of cold air hit Jesse right in the face.Then he heard a noise like rocks scrapeing rocks.

He got up and looked out the window,and horrer entered his eyes. On the ground the Dark Master sat,sharpening his blades on a rock.His scalp started to sting,and he felt cold all over.He felt his heart speed up,then he tryed to block out every thing that was happening.Sweat broke out on his face and palms.

The he closed his eyes,trying to picture a weapon,any weapon.Then he felt a something in his hands,he looked down at what it was.It was a large dark blue blade.Then it hit him the the noise had died out. With horrer he looked up,he was face to face with the Dark Master.

The beast grabbed him by his sweater and through him out of the tree. As Jesse fell,he back fliped and landed on his feet.

" Thank God im in Terabithia"

The black monster jumped off the top stair and brought his blades up to attack.What happnend next was like slow-motion for Jesse. As the blades came together on both sides of his head,he leand back,the swords hit each other just inches from his face.

The Dark Master jumped at him again,this time he sliced his shoulder.Jesse fell to his knees in pain.

He looked into the eyes,the blood red eyes.He could feel his heart beat in his skull,hes lungs were pumping hard.He dident come here to die.The Dark Master pulled his arm back,and lunged forword.

Jesse like before,leand back out of the way,but this time,he reached up and held the blade.Jesse pulled with all his might.There was a loud "Crack-Crack" and the blade fell away from the wrist.The monster fell in pain,and gave Jesse time to run to the ladder ans start to climb,once he was at the top,he reach out,and got his sword.

The monster was right behinde him,it reach for his foot and held tight.Jesse tried to get away,but the grip was like iron.The monster through him to the ground,this time he landed on his back.The monster was on him in an instent.It raised its arm with a blade on it,the other was wrapped around Jesse's throut.

"Jesse! Jesse!"

Even more horrer hit Jesse in the face.

" Leslie,stay away"

The beast looked away,trying to see ware the voice was comeing from.Then out of no-whare,PT was there,with leslie.PT started to bit and attack the monster,and it reacted,witch gave Jesse the chance to end it.

And he did.

He reach up,grabbed the Dark Master by the hood,and plunged the blade into it.There was a vary loud scream like cracking glass.Then the sword and monster turned to shadows.

"Leslie!"

There were tears in her eyes,and she was trembeling.

He ran to her and hugged her close.Then Jesse felt a pain in his arm,he looked ware he had been cut,whare the Dark Master's blade had slit his sweater,there was just skin,no blood,not a scar.No trace of the attack.

Leslie hugged him back.

" We are going to be late for cherch."

"I'll race you to the rope" Said Jesse
